Marine and residual fuel oils

Our extensive knowledge of petroleum products allows us to analyse marine & residual fuel oils to ensure they are consistently fit-for-purpose and that they comply with all the legislative controls and internal performance criteria. 

We offer the shipping industry a comprehensive range of Marine fuel oil analysis. Our testing helps assess whether your fuel complies with the marine fuel regulations. It also helps ensure the product is fit for purpose - therefore avoiding costly engine failure, downtime and/or repairs. 

As part of our extended testing capabilities for fuel oils, we can provide testing for a range of different fuel oils that are manufactured according to your requirements. We analyse residual fuel oils, VGO and other heavy distillates following internationally recognised standard test methods. Testing includes:
